CRS administered care to the suffering by providing food. shelter. and clothIng. Originally CRS was created when U.S. bishops recognized the need for emergency relief to the victims of World War II and was at that time called War Relief Services. Regard. less of creed. they aided prisoners of war. widows. orphans. and refugees. After the war the bishops decided to expand the efforts of the War Relief Services to include more than war and postwar programs. in doing so they renamed the agency to its present title. Not only does CRS alleviate the Immediate needs of the less fortunate. but goes a step further in that they institute preventative measures as well.
